Like holy shit, all hell broke loose for them. Social media purging them, Trump may get put into another peach, Republicans are fired at from every corner. Even the libbest of libs are finally calling them fascist. It's almost too perfect.

But, the even more hilarious reality is that no, the clowns were just that fucking dumb and conveniently documented everything on their open diary that is parler. Including their driver's licenses.

Like, it almost seems too good to be true. I am losing my mind.

    I would absolutely believe that Parler was a honeypot. Like, it was set up perfectly. Except nobody in power benefits by having these doofuses exposed.

    Do they?

        Yeah it's an interesting balancing act if you're a billionaire, because outright fascism is good for you, but a civil war caused by an attempt at fascism is bad for you.

          I think it's insane how blatant and heavy handed fascist thought is in advertising. Like decades and decades of "this product makes your ubermensch!" And hyper sexualization of everything from chairs to burgers. These current fascists are just the first in a long time with widespread fear of proletarianization. The petite bourgeoisie and the proles that were denied any education but fascist advertising are somewhat uniting, but suck at organizing.

          We're going to see a lot more billionaires funding fascist orgs under the table in the coming years as they attempt to harness the forces of reaction they've cultivated and turn them against us instead of themselves.

      I believe the lib part of the bourgeoisie genuinely doesn't want actual fascism to happen. That doesn't absolve them for letting it get this far though and that doesn't mean they won't change their minds if the left gains more traction.

      The owner has to be selling people's identities, that's the only thing I can think of. Otherwise maybe it's just an FBI honeypot which would be the best thing ever lol
